'Dear Mrs. Colclobgh—+l am writing on be- half of the committee of the Rural Municipality of Shamrock for relief, thanking you and your church for the bales of clothing sent us. The Gov- ernment is doing all it can. I pre- sume, but there are some sad cases of need,,Some of the most heroic suffer- ing is in the homes that will ,mot ask for much. Some have nothing or very little .for 4 years to sell—many not even a garden milk. butter, or any- thing.

First may I say that words could not express the appreciation of the people.

Yet people of the East and other places have sent us vegetables, and now you good people are sending us heckling and clothing. After all the world is not so big. It would seem that there is a relationship between the rEast and West that will not easi- ly be broken. 'I have laboured in this vicnity for three 'years, last 'June.

This is economy indeed, but why should we. harden you with all: the poverty of this West. But we alb appreciate very much indeed your help in 'relieving the conditions by sending us so gener- ously of your supply. 'I may say that i in five of rimy points' we make no dis- tinctions between Protestant and iR C.
